Just got an email from CZC  saying my pre-order is ready to ship. It's the black poly coat with black Grips.  Anyone else get an email?

When did you send in your deposit?
I have a receipt of deposit from 11/16 and haven't heard a peep, let alone choice of color.

Mine was from 11/15. Idk how many they got and i didnt get a choice of color. All they said was they have a black polycoat ready to ship. Picture had black grips but idk if thats what it comes with. I wanted blue but i wanted whatever came first as long as it wasnt the 2 toned.

Good to know. Did they give you an option to wait for the "blue" edition if you wanted to wait?

Im sure you could if you wanted. You were assigned a number when you preordered so if you didnt want the black one you probably would lose your spot.

On that note, my Shadow 2 just shipped! Should be here Tuesday!

I ordered a Blade Tech Drop offset holster for it. I have one for my SP-01 and they since came out with one for the Shadow 2

Can't wait to get mine. Didn't pre-order from CZC until a couple weeks ago so I'm sure it is still going to be a while. I hope comptac makes the international holster for them soon.

You have to send in a check for $200, they assign you a number, when your number comes up, and they have a gun, you get it.

I finally got Rob at CZC on the phone. As long as my LGS follows through and sends their FFL, I'll have one on the way as well. 

Anyway, I asked Rob about the "blue" version which is the Nitride version. The "Black" version is polycoat.
He said they received 400 Shadow 2's and 30 were Nitride. Those went first. Not sure when more "blue" ones would be available.

With that info, I was fine with the black, although I prefer the blue grips look wise, the Nitride vs. polycoat is a not important to me.
Maybe I'll be able to buy the blue grips at some point in the future?

On the way, pick up on Thursday

ETA - If they only ship 400 at a time it might be a while before we are production legal.

Got the call last night while I was out. Black Shadow 2 heading my way. I pre-ordered roughly two weeks ago so I am shocked it's already coming.

Polycoat (and I'm not even sure if that's an accurate term for it) is the standard CZ finish they use on their guns. It's an applied surface finish.
Nitride is the trade name for Ferritic Nitrocarburizing which actually effects the substrate of the metal surface, as I understand it. I guess an analogy would be
like anodizing with Aluminum. (I'm sure some metallurgist will be along shortly to rip me up over that comparison.  )

In general Nitride would be more durable and corrosion resistant, but I'm gentle with my guns, so would never realize the benefits in the real world.

Yes, same. My PCR is wearing along the forward parts of the dust cover (barely) and I've been carrying it since '05.
And of course, it's '05 and I understand they've even changed the recipe since then. The newer coating is tough as nails.

I didn't mean to imply the Polycoat was shit by any measure.

My understanding is that the poly shadow 2 (all black - 91254) is poly over the base nitride finish. The blue grip shadow 2 just has the nitride finish (91256).

At least that is how CZC described them.

If it has JUST the nitride finish, why is it 100 more? I see how they described it but the base nitride cant be the same as the regular nitride
